Chapter six What to do
"So…" Mike said "You´ve got epilepsy
I nodded,
"So…if you get a seizure" he kept on. "What am I supposed to do then"
"Well, " I said "There is not that much you can do. The most important is that you move chairs and other heavy stuff away from me, and put something soft under my head, it could be a pillow or a convoluted shirt or something like that. If the seizure lasts more than five minutes, you should call an ambulance. But if it doesn´t there are mostly nothing to worry about. I think that the absolutely most important thing to remember is whatever you do, keep calm., and when the convulsions have stopped, make sure I don´t lie on my back. A seizure makes me very tired so make sure I´ll come to my room safely and tell the others that they have to keep quiet, because I need to sleep."
"Is that all?" Mike asked, and I nodded.
"DINNER" we heard Gina shout from the kitchen, and we stood up.
Before Mike opened the door I said.
"Mike, promise not to tell anyone about my epilepsy."
"Why?" Mike asked, "Don´t you think they should know. If you get a seizure when I´m at home"
"Alright" I said "You can tell Tracy and Gina. But I won´t help you and make sure they won´t tell Johnny or the others."
Mike nodded
"Come on" he said , "let´s get some dinner."
I smiled, and then walked after him through the door and down to the kitchen.
